Yuletide at Yew Dell Botanical Gardens

Yuletide is an annual holiday event at Yew Dell Botanical Gardens. The grounds are transformed into a magical winter wonderland. Sparkling icicle lights fall from the castle, the famous rows of trees have white lights wrapped around their trunks and holiday cheer can be heard around the gardens.

There are several stops to make during Yuletide. Find a Christmas Fairy Village and holiday craft for the kids inside the beautiful castle. Inside the barn is where you will find a great holiday train display and snow village. There is a snow village scavenger hunt that kids can participate in also. Santa Claus will be inside the barn ready to hear wish lists and take a photo. Across the way, light snacks and refreshments are available for purchase.

Grab a hot cocoa and walk the grounds. Make sure you're on the lookout for the seven dwarfs. These little holiday statues are placed around the gardens and make for a fun scavenger hunt while you enjoy all of the lights.

Tickets can be purchased ahead of time online here or at the gift shop. The cost is $10 for adults, $5 for seniors and children (6-17) and free for children 5 and under. There are discounts for Yew Dell members.
